[mcellas]

If you live In Miami or Broward dont let your girl train with a nikka named Dietrict some shyt like that he pretty much fukk all his clients its hilarious

 

[the cac mamba]

I don't think you get it. First off how would a person know what works and doesn't work yeah you can use google but there's a gazillion different workouts and routines and for someone who just wants to lose weight, it'll be too overbearing. There's certain things in life ppl are just willing to pay that extra money for

man youre not gonna sell me on the fact that you NEED some motherfukker to tell you this, well agree to disagree

That's a Good one.

Cutting hair
Little league ref

man cutting hair is not a good hustle. unless you get years in and build your clientle up. unless your a celebrity barber or you own your own shop. i couldnt rock with being a barber. the guy that cuts my hair told me he has to pay the owner 30% of his earnings. lets say you average 10 heads a day monday thru friday. $20 a cut times 50 is 1000. thats 300 dollars you paying in rent plus you gotta pay your taxes.

Never let your girl or wife have a personal trainer. I got a homeboy, dude is former track athlete he is cut up and shyt. He has absolutely no morals....none. He fukkin moms, wives, baby moms, grandmas, thats his clients. He truly dont give a fukk. He said he and a client ran around Stone Mountain park for 3 hours and had the woman (married) give him head on the way back from the park (i cant imagine he was fresh)

Dude dont even care about how much money he getting, he is basically having broads pay him to give him the ass.

No excuses^^^

^^no excuses

i've told yall before. that Xbox One is even better then that. yeah you have to shell out $400 so you can get that kinect too. but so what.

if you dropping $130 on a trainer every so often. you will easily pay off that xbox. in a matter of a few workouts.

the xbox does what a trainer does as well. which is show you exactly how good or bad your form is on each workout. they have all those workouts that your trainer is using. non of that stuff is new.

if you need a meal plan. you can get that online as well. its on you what you want to do. i dropped darn near 20 lbs in 8 weeks. and i work a day job and drive for hours to get to and from work everyday. i ended up winning a weight loss challenge and the prize was $250 at my job. they thought i was joking when i told them. i might just win it. all i needed was a reason.
no personal trainer at all. Me, my xbox fitness and eating right for 8 weeks straight with a snack here and there.

you dont need to pay someone that kind of money to tell you what you already know. i'll keep it simple for yall. hit the track, RUN a mile in under 12 mins for beginners under 15, for thin folks that know how to run but need to cut the fat back down. run that mile under 10 mins. for athletes, run it under 8 mins. for people already in great shape. run it under 6 mins. Do this mon thru thursday.
your warm up, his 35 crunches/situps, 35 pushups(if you cant hack it all at once.. do them increments of 7 throughout the day, until you get better at them). get your stretching in right after your warm up. and again after your workout(this will keep some of that pain down).

by week two. you will be use to it. but you will still be losing weight and gaining muscle. while also being able to get more cardio in because you're now in decent shape.

if you're too big to the do the above and you have bad knees. fine. go invest that trainer money into a Recumbent bike. find a good one(read the reviews). you can get one for under $250. ride that thing every single morning when you wake up before you take a shower. ride it for 20 mins. try to keep the rpms up but use the below as gauge.

How to Do It
It's simple: If your heart is beating faster, your lungs are working harder, and you can talk comfortably -- but can't sing -- you are likely working out at a level that is ideal for improving your cardiovascular health and losing weight. When you get to the point where talking becomes even more difficult and you can't say more than a few words, you've reached another level of exercise intensity. That level is going to burn more calories and improve your performance, but it's more difficult to sustain for a long period of time. If you're pedaling that bike so fast that you can't speak more than a single word, you're probably won't be able to sustain it for more than a few minutes. As a general rule, aim for the "easy to talk" zone for longer exercise sessions, the "harder to talk" zone for shorter, faster sessions of 20 minutes or less, and the "really hard to talk" zone only very sparingly.

dont tell me you cant do it without a personal trainer. thats just nonsense speak.

First off a good personal trainer isn't just there to tell you what and how to workout but they're a motivator. Secondly people are motivated to accomplish a task when they have skin on the game. If you're spending money per session, best believe you won't miss a session vs trying to do it on your own, you'll start cheating yourself and start skipping days.

There are many scientific studies proving the benefit of a personal trainer. You take a group of people working out with a trainer and compare their results to those doing it by themselves and the ones with a trainer will pretty much always have better results.

Abstract
Objective: The authors examined the effect of certified personal trainer services on exercise behavior by using the transtheoretical model of behavioral change. Participants: Female college students (n = 449) completed surveys during the first week (T1) and last week (T2) of the fall semester. Methods: Students receiving personal trainer services during the fall semester (experimental group, n = 31) were cross-matched with students who had not received services (control group, n = 31). Results: The control group demonstrated a statistically significant regression in stage of exercise change scores; the experimental group did not. The authors found the 2 groups to have a statistically significant difference in the pattern of exercise behavior change over the course of the semester, with more active maintainers and progressors in the experimental group. Conclusions: Cognitive and behavioral processes of change, decisional balance, and scheduling self-efficacy significantly decreased in the control group, whereas cognitive processes of change, decisional balance, and scheduling self-efficacy remained statistically unchanged in the experimental group.

The purpose of the present investigation was to examine the influence of resistance training with a personal trainer versus unsupervised resistance training on the self-selected intensities used by women during resistance exercise. Forty-six resistance-trained women (age = 26.6 ± 6.4 years; body mass = 64.2 ± 10.9 kg) who either trained individually (n = 27; No PT) or with a personal trainer (n = 19; PT) were carefully instructed to select a weight they used in their own resistance training workouts that enabled the completion of 10 repetitions for the chest press (CP), leg press (LP), seated row (SR), and leg extension (LE) exercises. Each participant was subsequently tested for one repetition-maximum (1RM) strength on each exercise, and the self-selected intensity was calculated based on a percent of each 1RM value. For self-selected relative intensity, the PT group selected significantly greater intensities for LP (50% vs. 41%), CP (57.4% vs. 48%), and SR (56% vs. 42%) whereas a trend (p = 0.10) was observed for LE (43% vs. 38%) compared with No PT. Overall, the average self-selected intensity for all exercises was ~51.4% in PT group and ~42.3% in the No PT group. 1RM values for LP, LE, and SR were greater in the PT than No PT group. Ratings of perceived exertion values were significantly greater in the PT compared with the No PT group for CP, LE, and SR but not LP. These results indicate that resistance training under the supervision of a personal trainer leads to greater initial 1RM strength values, self-selection of greater workout intensities, and greater ratings of perceived exertion values during resistance exercise.

ALL THIS SOUNDS well and good. but the truth is. i have know a ton of people that have had personal traininers(mostly women). and all of them have quit at some point. most of them quit early in the game. perhaps the PT got them to workout for 4 more weeks then normal. great. but they're back out of shape and back talking about "i need a personal trainer." NO YOU DONT.

you wont keep it off unless you decide to do it on your own for yourself. this isnt some comeptition (the biggest loser). so you're not in a rush to shave pounds or get ya cardio back up to where it use to be. just workout daily/every other day and ramp it up every so often, eat better and better everyday until you have it down to a science. if you fall off the wagon for a month. thats ok. get right back on it again. see you aint about to drop all that money for a PT everytime you fall off. so you will start using the "i need a PT, but i aint got the cash right now" as an excuse to not work out. as if you cant workout without a PT.

We are talking about side hustles

If you cut about 15 heads a week out of your house at about $15 per

That's over 200 a week extra

Saw my friend over the weekend that's an independent personal trainer, he calls what he does a hobby and said he can never work a "real job" ever again. This is a dude that charges $130 an hour and makes around 100k a year, when you break that down it comes out to around 800 total work hours per year or 15 per week. His only complaint would be the irregular hours, some days he'll work at 7am and then wont have another session till 11pm, but even then a huge chunk of his day is free to do whatever he wants. I knew he made a good amount, I didn't know his work week was so open like that though or that he viewed it as a hobby, most of his client base is from word of mouth and he deals with professionals.

With 3/4 of the country being overweight or obese I can't really think of a better field to get into, especially if you're a former fat dude that can use your transformation pics as your resume. I may have to get ACE/NASM certified and train some people on the side If you're in good shape and live in a fairly large city you should get certs brehs

I'm on it

 

[Couth]

Idk... i can't find any holes in it but for some reason i'm just not interested. Plus i don't think i would make a very good trainer, i don't like people.
